nVidia Drivers + Debian Sarge...
I've been following the instructions I found on google here, and I seem to be stuck at this step (debian/rules binary_modules):
Code:
WOLFK-DESK-NIX:/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel# debian/rules binary_modules |
Heres a much easier option, go to the url below and download the driver u want and just execute the file.
I've got a nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200 and i'm using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run (old version) with kernel 2.6.5. works perfectly. Once the drivers as built u just need to load the module and restart X. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html Good luck D |
I tried their installer but it ran into a few problems and ultimately didn't work... I don't remember what it said right now.
|
I had several problems using the 5336 driver with a 2.6 kernel, but the latest driver works fine.
Try that. If it doesn't work, then for somebody to be able to help they'll need your error messages. |
make sure you have the kernel headers installed.
Code:
su -c "apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)" |
I had the same problem and I had to recompile kernel.
I used this article. It wasn't really difficult. And then Nvidia drivers installed with no problem. |
